Not sure but I am sure Greg the owner will chime in. I can tell you its more then just the car Greg is a real good driver. I hope to pair up with him soon. The last time I saw that car they were work the bugs out and spitting out tranny's and rears in south Carolina. He never got down the track but The LPE guy's did a great job in the pits swapping parts. Thats one event no one will forget

Its a LPE custom twin turbo 417 ci C5R block, LS6 heads, stock suspension except for Penske shocks, transmission is a stock ZO6 with a harden output shaft, the differential is a 3.15 with a LPE harden output shaft. I made 8 nine second runs in Muncie with no problem what so ever. The car is one hell of a ride and it challenges all the way down the track which makes it fun. You gotta love LPE packages, it drives and sounds like a stock ZO6. As soon as they are done with the tweeking we will be back at the track looking for lower ets and traction.

Would love to get to the track with you in the fall (cool air). A friendly Vette/Viper 6 speed race.

What track do you usually run at ?

What is your 1/8 mile MPH ?

I usually run New England Dragway in Epping, NH, we have a vette/viper shootout October 16 and there should be a lot of heavy hitters there.

My best 60 foot was a 1.446 the track was very slippery as you could see
My best 1/8 mile was 121 mph
My best MPH of the day was 153 mph

When LPE is done tweeking we should see lower et and higher mph.
What kind of car and combonation do you have, im assuming you have a Viper.

Paul love to pair up with you soon, its always good to have some competition. Its just not fun leaving the other guy at the line and going down the track by yourself.

Turbo,

I have a Viper with a built motor and S/C. Were still playing around with the suspension set up and also need some more tuning.

Hoping to go 9.4-9.5 by August and a bit lower in the fall. Probably around 152-154.

Would be alot of fun. Not too many other 6 speed cars to play with out there.
